Smokin' Aces - This uber-cool retro cocktail bar is basically a shrine to Jack Daniels with bottles of the world-famous bourbon along the walls and live music most nights.Bar So - You can enjoy a pre-club pint in some bars, but it's rare that you find a bar that is the club.

Where to Head...

Districts

Bournemouth couldn't be easier to navigate, even when trying to usher along a group of wayward stag lads ("like herding kittens"). The biggest and best evening action is right in the town centre. For daytime laughs in between activities, the beach front is the place to be to organise beach soccer or a game of volleyball.

Must see...

The Lighthouse - Billed as the largest arts centre outside of London this modern facility offers everything from comedy, new circus, theatre, cinema, visual arts, events and workshops.Bournemouth Promenade - A potential head clearing, sight restoring, hangover curing landscape. Drag the lads out of their bunks in a Regimental Sergeant Major fashion and push them on to the prom for the restorative powers of the sea air. Then chill on the beach while waiting for your heads to stop hurting and the afternoon’s challenge.

PUB TRIVIA

George Best (referred to by Pele as "the greatest") played for AFC Bournemouth.
Amanda Holden once rode through the town centre naked on a motorbike to win a £20 dare (please don’t dare the groom, whatever way you look at it he really is no Amanda Holden).
The first of the arrests in the Great Train Robbery were made in Bournemouth
Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkein lived here. Rumours that he used to stand on the pier shouting "You shall not pass!" as people walked past are probably just made up… by us.

Bournemouth Budgeting: The Bournemouth Shekels

Done well you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the value. We’ve got ABTA bonded packages and we can build to suit, but don’t expect quality you’ll be happy on the cheap. As busy as Bournemouth gets you don’t want to chance it, you’ll know yourself not all things are equal and chancing it in a resort when you’ve got the boys to answer to, can only end in you wearing plastic boobs while gaffa taped to a lamppost on the prom. So our advice would be booking sooner rather than later. And make sure you’re protected, that lads are trusting you to spend their hard-earned cash wisely so always make sure you’re booking with a company that gives financial protection so should something happen the lads won’t end up out of pocket. That aside in terms of on the ground spend unless you go to the top, top hotels, restaurants, golf courses and so on you won’t be shocked - unless you invest heavily in your table dances or crash at the casino, the Bournemouth stag expenditure should be pretty standard.
